Continuous Probability Distributions
Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could count from 0 to a trillion seconds, billion seconds, so on indefinitely. A discrete probability distribution consists of only a countable set of possible values.
Normal Distribution
Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a great idea as the sensitivity of the scale would get reduced if the range is too large. At the same time, if we keep the upper limit too low, it may not be usable for a large percentage of the population!

Attempt 4
Judy's measured potassium level varies according to the Normal distribution with H = 3.8 and o = 0.2 mmol/l. Let us
consider what could happen if we took four separate measurements from Judy.
What is the blood potassium level L such that the probability is only 0.05 that the average of four measurements is less than L
. Hint: This requires an inverse Normal calculation. (Enter you answer rounded to two decimal places.)
L =
